So these are useless when you have 100 DF skinning skill?

Comment by Quercy

For those confused, these are for the Profession Specialization pathway, NOT the skill pathway...
The droprate seems to be much lower than other gathering professions too.

Comment by Syrlin

According to the tooltip Curious Hide, you are limited to getting 5 of these per week.

Comment by Rusty5p00n

Droprate for these seems quite low, compared to the equivalent for mining (which in my experience drop more frequently)

Hello everyone!
Just like stated by Syrlin, you can check in your tooltip for Curious Hide how many you can still gather per week.
However if you would like to have a look for yourself via scripts here they are, along with the Draconic Treatise on Skinning

These has a roughly 4% drop rate from skinning a creature that yields leather or scale, which means you will, on average need to skin about 25 creatures to get one and about 150 to 180 per week for the weekly limit. "Lesser" creatures such as Vorquin Foal or protodragon whelps will not drop these.

What is the best farming spot for this?

Comment by andopro

A good place to get the weekly knowledge points is 29.32 43.79 in Azue Span
there are 5 goats with instant respawn.

Blizzard seems to have implemented the opposite of a "bad luck protection" with these. After farming them every week, I have never got them to drop back to back, as in, getting two from the same big pull of 10+ mobs. They must have some sort of timer or kill count, very anti player programming tbh.

Comment by mickeythug

Since Blizzard hotfixed the goats spawn rate, I feel like killing and skinning proto drakes around Wingrest Embassy in The Waking Shore is also very efficient. Just got all of my Curious Hide Scraps + Large Sample of Curious Hide in less than 30 mins. There's a whole bunch of them there, and by the time you complete a run, all of them should've respawned.

Location: /way 80.21 37.49

Hope it helps!

After some try and error, i think i got with the right method to get these , i have only my observations to go by so any input is welcome.

The first time i notice this was because iwas farming some of the rare leathers and scales, when i did notice that that day i was getting the curious hides scraps faster than when farming them in the same spot. So for a couple weeks now of doing farming i can offer my conclusion.

Aparently the chance of these to drop from 1 type of animal (say protodragons for example), drops drastically after the first, so keeping on skining the same animal is fruitless and exhausting. But jumping to another type of animal, say hypos, or thunderlizards, or bulls, or anything else, their drops are high.

That was my theory anyway, so after testing this, it worked for my like a charm, i could be wrong or just my perception of things, so i welcome any input

Primal Proto-Drakes, in a circuit around and slightly east of the stone pillar at:

Based on some tests, I don't think there is any significant ICD on skinning these.

I normally grind these out in Rockfang Ravine so I can get extra Rockfang Leather in the process so I decided to test the drop spacing on 2 characters.

At first it seemed like it was pretty consistent, I was getting drops fairly close to 30 apart, which is close to what I was noticing last week, but a few as low as 17 apart when I accidentally hit a vulture and skinned that. Second character, mostly close to 30, but one of them dropped just 6 kills after the previous one.

So, I think it really is just random.
